Election is a win for Democrats' agenda

President Obama was re-elected with 332 electoral votes, and 3.5 million more popular votes, and picked up two seats in the Senate, with two more independents expected to caucus with Democrats.

They even picked up seven or so House seats. Even when you total the national votes cast for House seats, the Democrats got more total national votes. Republicans held their majority because of gerrymandering.

Even with Citizens United and tons of corporate money, voter suppression laws adopted in 22 Republican-controlled states, poll checkers assigned to heavily Democratic areas to slow the vote, and last-minute false advertising, they lost.

Here's why: There are no constitutional rights being infringed, only in their dreams, a balanced non-Grover Nordquist approach to reducing the debt is required, badmouthing the 47 percent behind closed doors did not resonate, covert racism didn't work, supply-side economics, sprinkling a little fairy dust down on the middle class if they are good failed in the past and does not work today, bending over backwards to prop up the richest 2 percent, who have created zippo jobs, is a needless giveaway.

There is a 30-year economic trail to dispel that trickle- down myth. Fur coats and yachts don't trickle down.

The debate is over; the Democrat platform prevailed. Only a fool would continue debating that.

I'm impressed with the "no more mr. nice guy?" approach Obama is taking. Like the slogan says, "forward."
